Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch!
Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.
Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.
But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)
Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

This reverts commit 03ceedea97, since it
breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
to get an IP address after the resume.
In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver. As Johannes
says:
"Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong
and completely unnecessary."

commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone
update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping
internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with
timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0.
If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe()
triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up
timekeeping completely.
The comment above timespec_add_safe() says:
It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0)
Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly.

Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.
When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024). This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.
This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.
Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way.

Since 'extern inline' doesn't work correctly in the context of the Linux
kernel (too many overriding defines), move the string functions to normal
lib/ assembly files (like the existing mem funcs). This avoids the forced
inline all over the kernel and allows us to place them constantly in L1.
This also avoids some module failures when gcc inserts calls to string
functions but the kernel build system doesn't fully consult the library
archives.
